The Premier League has revealed it is looking at ways of introducing a winter break into the English game.

Talks have been ongoing between the Football Association and the English Football League regarding the proposal.

A winter break is commonplace throughout European football and the Premier League has today released a statement clarifying the position.

It said: "The Premier League has been in discussions with the FA and EFL for several months regarding the challenges of the increasingly congested English football calendar, and ways in which we can work together to ease fixture congestion while also giving players a mid-season break.

"Provided space can be found in the calendar, we are open to this in principle and will continue constructive discussions with our football stakeholders to seek a workable solution."

Spain, France, Germany and Italy all currently operate with the winter break system, with the Bundesliga taking the longest period of time away from the field at 22 days.

歐洲五大聯賽中，目前只有英超並沒有設立歇冬期，英超球隊甚至要在聖誕新年快車期，應付每隔兩、三日便要踢一場賽事的魔鬼賽程，以致不少領隊球員抱怨。惟英國《BBC》報道，英超賽會過去數月一直就增設歇冬期，與擁有轉播權的電視台加以討論，富有建設性的進展；報道指最快在19/20年的英超賽季，於一月設歇冬期讓球員休息。

英國足總早前曾經表示，由於現時的英超轉播權合約直到2019年賽季後才結束，故於此日期前設立歇冬期並不可行。然而，英超賽會過去數月一直就新轉播合約與電視台進行談判，並曾討論加入歇冬期的可行性：「賽會正研究方法在安排賽程的同時，讓球員在季中得到休息，原則上我們對此持開放態度，並繼續與各方進行談判，尋找可行的辦法。」
報導指，英超新的轉播權談判結果將於下周公布，若賽會最終能與中標電視台達成協議，將計劃在一月設立歇冬期，這建議不但可以保留傳統的聖誕賽期，保證各方的經濟收益，也能讓球員在聖誕賽期後得到休息。
早前曼城領隊哥迪奧拿本年在聖誕快車檔期後，直言密集的賽程正在「殺死」球員；曼聯領隊摩連奴亦曾指英超沒有歇冬期，阻礙英超球隊在歐聯爭取佳績的機率。而目前五大聯賽中，只有英超沒有在季中休戰，其中本賽季德甲球隊更享有長達22日的歇冬期，為五大聯賽中歇冬期最久的聯賽。

我都覺得係, 想聖誕抖下? 死左條心啦~~~

係丫想打一月

聽講個提議本來就係只係一月停短時間

聖誕檔期唔會放棄

據《Sky Sports》報道，英超賽會、英格蘭足總，及英格蘭聯賽賽會三方達成協議，2019-2020球季英超將會引入兩個禮拜歇冬期。

據報，兩個禮拜的歇冬期，並不會如其他聯賽一般全面停戰，而是將一周10場比賽錯開。首個周末將有5場比賽，讓其中10隊休息；而同周另外5場比賽，將在下一周末進行。此舉將可讓20支球隊，分別享受最少13天假期。另外，由英格蘭足總舉辦的足總盃，將會由第五圈開始，全部改由周中進行，更不設重賽，一場過分出勝負。而英冠已表示，因為比賽太多的關係，將不會跟隨英超作歇冬期。

變佐兩星期？

Winter break explained: What you need to know about the proposal

The prospect of a winter break is closer than ever with the Premier League happy in principle to introduce it from the 2019/20 season, Sky Sports understands.

From February 2020, Premier League clubs will have a staggered break that will guarantee all 20 clubs at least 13 days between games.

Here, we take a detailed look at how the proposal works, the possible pitfalls and what needs to happen next for it to go through…

What is the proposal?
The proposed change would allow for an annual two-week break in early February from 2020 onwards that would allow all Premier League clubs to have at least 13 days off.

It would be staggered so there would be no weekend without Premier League football because there would be five games on the first weekend and five on the following weekend.

Teams in the Football League would not be directly involved in the winter break as the need for each team to play 46 matches requires every available weekend to be used.

However, the proposal also needs the fifth round of the FA Cup to be moved to midweek with no replays in order to accommodate this break for Premier League teams.

Will it be going ahead?

Both the Premier League and the Football League are happy with the plan that has been proposed as it stands. The decision now rests with the Football Association.

Given that previous England manager have pushed hard for the introduction of a winter break the onus will be on the country's governing body to agree to the proposals.

Will it help England?

This is a key question. The idea is that this can help England in the very first season when they will expect to go to Euro 2020. Many former England managers have argued for this.

The constant grind of Premier League football, famous for its intensity, is wearing on players, particularly over Christmas. This would allow them some respite after that hectic period.

Winter breaks happen elsewhere. Scotland have a 19-day break. The Bundesliga gets the best part of a month off. France has 24 days, Spain has 18 days and Italy get 16 days.

The argument is that this gives them competitive advantage but current boss Gareth Southgate is more philosophical about it and is not so convinced it will make a huge difference.

So what are the issues?
Firstly, the change is not so dramatic. Everton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, West Ham and Watford each had breaks of at least 13 days between games this February.

Players will still need to train for the second game so it is not a full fortnight of rest either, particularly when clubs could use the break to take players away instead.
